The 2007 Nebbiolo d'Alba is a big, bold wine packed with ripe fruit, sweet spices, licorice and leather. The wine combines elements of super-ripeness, rich texture and classic Nebbiolo structure in a style that is undeniably appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014. These entry-level reds from Damilano were among the best I tasted. Hopefully they will turn out to be representative of overall quality in their respective vintages here.

Delicate fragrances of blue flowers, pressed violets, exotic spice and white pepper emerge from the nose of this Nebbiolo from the Langhe. The wine shares a lot in common with its big brothers Barbaresco and Barolo, including a firm tannic finish.——M.L.(4/1/2010)—— 88
